Reminds me of an actual paper hole "punch" that I encountered at
Ferranti back in my youth in the print room. We used to photo-copy
compter manuals and transport them over to this beast. You could put
a 2" or more high stack of paper on it, clamp it down, and have it
*drill* through the stack at the relevant points for the ring binders.
Beat feeding it three sheets at a time through the desktop punch!
Hey, those manuals would be on-topic now :-)
More recently, I've seen laser cutters for sheet steel - now those are
impressive! I was shown what looked like a paper doily, but turned out
to be made of 6mm thick steel!! Impressive.

Aaarggghhh! A laser and a vintage computer(part)?
Next stop a paperpuncher with a laser to cut the holes???
That reminds of the write once media, that was to out 20?
years ago.
